AMA Amateur National Bagger Championship class in partnership with
Bagger Racing League running Saturday
PICKERINGTON, OH – April 4, 2024 – (Motor Sports NewsWire) – Classic racing motorcycles from decades past will command the freshly repaved curves of Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio, during 2024 Permco AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days, July 26-28. America’s grandest celebration of vintage motorcycles will honor eras old and new with national championship racing on one of the country’s favorite road courses.
“Mid-Ohio’s 2.4-mile road course, with its legendary Keyhole and Carousel sections, has a fresh coat of asphalt and is ready to welcome a full slate of vintage road racing during VMD,” said AMA Director of Racing Mike Pelletier. “Classes will include hand-shifted pre-war racers, non-current superbikes, modern machines and everything in between — even sidecar rigs. The AMA appreciates our organizing partner WERA Motorcycle Roadracing and their efforts in growing and supporting the program.”
This year, the program will shake the ground in a new way with the addition of big V-twin engines and the visual spectacle of full-faired bagger motorcycles at speed. For the first time, the AMA Amateur National Bagger Champion will be crowned at Permco AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days, and it’s certain to be a highlight of Saturday’s on-track action.
AMA-chartered promoter Bagger Racing League (BRL) is partnering with the AMA and WERA to promote and operate the amateur championship class.
“Baggers were built to tour, but in the right hands and with the right modifications they become some of the wildest racing machines on the planet,” said BRL founder Rob Buydos. “The roar they make, how they move around and attack the corners is amazing to watch, and race fans are in for a serious thrill at Permco AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days this year. BRL is thrilled to bring this fabulous racing action to VMD for the first time during the 100th year celebration of the AMA itself.”
Amateur road racing entry information will be available soon. It will be posted, along with rules and additional competitor information at www.VintageMotorcycleDays.com/racing/road-racing/.
